Installing Your  Speakers—Continued

Before you connect your speakers, read the following:

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other 

words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) 
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) 
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the 
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.

• Only use speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 

ohms. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 
6 ohms may damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect 

the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and 

negative connections. Doing so may 
damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to 

each speaker terminal. Doing so may 
damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair of 

speakers, don’t connect it to both the left and right speaker 
terminals.

The following illustration shows which speakers should be connected to which terminals.

Make sure that the terminals are 
gripping the bare wires, not the insu-
lation.

The SUBWOOFER PRE 
OUT should be connected 
to the input on your active 
subwoofer. If your 
subwoofer doesn’t have an 
amp built-in, you’ll need to 
use an external amp. See 
the manual supplied with 
your subwoofer for more 
information.
